< Isaia 6 >

1 Tamy taoñe nihomaha’ i Oziày, le nitreako miambesatse am-piambesatse abo naho nonjoneñe t’i Talè vaho nahaatseke i anjombay ty saravi’e.
In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne; he was high and elevated, and the hem of his robe filled the temple.
2 Nijohañe ambone’e ey o seràfeo; songa aman’ elatse eneñe, ty roe nanakoñe ty lahara’e, ty roe nanaroñe o fandia’eo vaho nitiliñe ty roe.
Above him were the seraphim; each one had six wings; with two each covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
3 Ie nifampikoike ty hoe: Masiñe, masiñe, masiñe, t’Iehovà’ i Màroy; lifotse ty enge’e ty tane bey toy.
Each one called to another and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory.”
4 Nampiezeñezeñe o tokonañeo i feon-koikey, vaho natsafe’ ty hatoeñe i anjombay.
The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voices of those who were crying out, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Le hoe iraho, Hankàñe amako, rebake, fa ondaty maleo-tsoñy, vaho añivo’ ondaty maleo-pivimby ty itobohako; fa nahatrea i Mpanjakay, Iehovà’ i Màroy, o masokoo.
Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am doomed because I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, because my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh, Yahweh of hosts!”
6 Niti­liñe mb’ amako amy zao ty seràfe ninday vato mirekake am-pità’e, ie rinambe’e an-tsadrò boak’amy kitreliy ao,
Then one of the seraphim flew to me; he had a glowing coal in his hand, that he had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
7 le natoho’e ami’ty soñiko naho nanao ty hoe: Hehe, tinoho’ ty raha toy o fivim­bi’oo, vaho finaoke o tahi’oo.
He touched my mouth with it and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt has been taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
8 Tsinanoko ka ty fiarañanaña’ i Talè nanao ty hoe: Ia ty hiraheko, vaho ia ty homb’eo ho anay? Le hoe iraho: Intoy iraho; iraho!
I heard the voice of the Lord say, “Whom shall I send; who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am; send me.”
9 Le hoe re: Akia, le saontsio am’ondaty retoañe: Toe mijanjiñe nahareo fe tsy mahafohiñe, mañente fe tsy mahaoniñe.
He said, “Go and tell this people, 'Listen, but do not understand; see, but do not perceive.'
10 Ampibobòho ty arofo’ ondaty retoa, le ampivalagìño o ravembia’ iareoo, akipeo o fihaino’ iareoo; tsy mone hahaisake o fihaino’ iareoo, naho hitsendreñe o ravembia’ iareoo, naho hahafohiñe o arofo’ iareoo, vaho himpoly ho jangañeñe.
Make the heart of this people insensitive, and their ears dull, and blind their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and then turn and be healed.”
11 Le hoe iraho: O Talè, pak’ombia? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Ampara’ te kòake o rovao tsy amam-pimoneñe, naho tsy ama’ondaty o anjombao, vaho vata’e ratraratra i taney,
Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities crash into ruins and are without inhabitants, and the houses are without people, and the land falls into a desolate waste,
12 ie fa naveve’ Iehovà añe ondatio, vaho maro ty toetse hoakoake añivo’ i taney.
and until Yahweh has sent the people far away, and the solitude of the land is great.
13 Aa ndra te i faha-folo’ey ro sehanga’e, mbe habotseke avao; fe manahake te mbe eo ty foto’ o mendoraveñeo naho o kileo t’ie firaeñe, le i tiry miavakey ty ho foto’e.
Even if a tenth of the people remain in it, it will again be destroyed; as a terebinth or an oak is cut down and whose trunk remains, the holy seed is in its stump.”
